Despite the departure of the terrorist organization Daesh from most of the
Syrian territory, after the destruction of many villages and towns, and the
displacement of hundreds of thousands of Syrian citizens, despite successive
military successes against its forces, the Syrian people still suffer the
negative effects, including mines planted by the organization in various Syrian
places.
The landmines killed four civilians and injured 36 others in the Chula district
of Deir al-Zour, on Saturday night, the official SANA news agency reported.
The explosion in the village of Deir al-Zour was not the first of its kind, but
was preceded by several explosions, such as a landmine explosion left behind by
the terrorist organization, in the vicinity of the village of Ark in Badia
Palmyra, which left eight civilians dead and 11 injured.
More than 20 civilians died as a result of a landmine explosion in a car
carrying workers in the Wadi al-Atheeb region of el-Salmiya countryside. Seven
civilians died and another was injured by a landmine planted by terrorists in
the vicinity of a village in el-Salmiya countryside.
Five others were killed in the same area in another explosion, and nine others
were injured in a landmine explosion in an area northeast of the Syrian city of
Hama.
The terrorist organization has resorted to this mechanism in order to impede
and prevent the advance of the Syrian forces in the areas from which the
organization's fighters flee, giving them the opportunity to escape and to
inflict the greatest possible number of casualties and casualties among those
forces.
The mechanism was clearly visible in the village of Al-Bagouz, the last resort
of the terrorist organization in Syria. An organization called for landmines
and booby-trapped vehicles to preserve its last pocket in Syria, a mechanism
for the failure of the organization, its collapse and the collapse of its
military force.
